Werne Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Ok, go to your Fallout 3/data folder, move the plugin to a different location (cut/paste) and then save in GECK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werne Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I didn't say "save over it" I said move it away from the Data folder so you can save a fresh one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werne Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Let me refrase my sentence. Go to the game location NOT IN GECK, in windows explorer, go to the data folder, find the Vault74.esp, right click it, select "Cut". Now go to your desktop, right click somewhere on the desktop and select "Paste". Now go to the GECK and save the plugin. All I told you to do is to remove the Vault74.esp from the Data folder.
